  • Beyond the Bathroom Gender-Inclusive Planning and Policy for Public Spaces
    Beyond the Bathroom Gender-inclusive planning and policy for public spaces Nick Addamo Zachary Bloom Katie Garrett Amina Hassen Shannon Jordy Melissa Plaut Nina Psoncak Advisor: Laxmi Ramasubramanian, PhD AICP TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT Gender- The set of meanings assigned by a culture or society to someone’s perceived biological sex. Gender is not static and it can shift over time. Gender Identity- A person’s core sense of being male, female, in-between or neither. This may or may not conform to the person’s biological sex. Since gender identity is internal, one’s gender identity is not necessarily visible to others. Gender Expression- The ways in which a person manifests masculinity and/or femininity; usually an extension of one’s gender identity. Gender non-conforming (GNC)- Any person whose gender identity and expression do not fit within the traditional male/female gender binary. LGBT, LGBTQ-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Queer- Both LGBT and LGBTQ are acronyms. We chose to use LGBTQ as a widely-encompassing term and since there are often shared experiences among those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer. City agencies, researchers and other organizations often use LGBT, therefore we respect that use where appropriate. There are specific needs and concerns related to each individual identity within the acronyms that lump "LGBT" and "LGBTQ." OneNYC- A plan for a strong and just city, introduced by mayor Bill deBlasio. The plan is not a comprehensive plan, but a blueprint. It identifies policy and planning priorities for New York City, which fall into the four categories of economic growth, social equity, sustainability, and resilient infrastructure.
